I agree to this assertion in the sense that it is very aiming and could create machinery where tasks are
measured and compared to lay down plans in order to achieve stated goals.
Leadership 1.0 which is really important in instituting change and managing it in an organisation
has been overshadowed by rather an American style of team work.
Control is not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership. If you seek to
lead, invest at least 50% of your time in leading yourself—your own purpose, ethics,
principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20% leading those with authority over you and
15% leading your peers."

effective leadership development who can manage the change process to suit the rather erratic
market.
This is supported by Henry Kissenger in his statement. The task of the leader is to get his people from
